About Phat Cat Swinger
Phat Cat Swinger is led by founder Marco Palos. He is joined by crooner Mark Kopitzke as the band brings a new energetic sound to the big band genre. In the last year at the Disneyland Resort, they have performed at Disney Festival of Holidays, Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, and also Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts’ Nite.
